Peanut Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Berry Compote
This compote is one of those unexpected combinations that somehow makes complete sense the moment you taste it. Sweet-tart berries, briny Kalamata olives, and juicy cherry tomatoes all simmer down together into a loose, jammy sauce that's deeply savory with just a hint of warmth from turmeric and fresh thyme. A finishing drizzle of honey and a squeeze of lemon pull everything into balance, and torn basil scattered on top makes it feel genuinely special. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and peanut derivatives, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved — just straightforward, vibrant cooking. It comes together in one saucepan with minimal effort, which makes it as practical as it is impressive. Spoon it over grilled chicken, crusty bread, or a creamy cheese for a Mediterranean-inspired dish that tastes like it took far more planning than it did.

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden at the edges, about 1–2 minutes. Watch closely, as garlic can brown quickly.
